Let’s talk fasted cardio. One thing certainly is for sure. . . . IT SUCKS!!!! .
.
It not only taxes the body but also the mind. 🤯 So why do it? Well, there are tremendous fat loss benefits. .
.
Now before moving any further in this post I want everyone to realize that what works for one individual in achieving their goals may not be right for another individual. So before jumping right into thinking fasted cardio is what you need, evaluate if your goals are weight loss, fat loss, muscle growth or endurance. All require different action and fasted cardio may not be it. .

What also needs to be understood is the difference between “fasted cardio” and just “empty stomach” cardio. Check this out. . . When you eat before working out (6 hours or less) your body is most likely going to burn that food for energy. On the flip side, when you exercise (cardio or weight training) having not eaten for 8 plus hours, your body is in a fasted state and will therefore look to its glycogen and fat stores to burn for energy. BINGO, when fat loss is your goal!!!! This type of cardio is especially great when completing it with HIIT (high intensity interval training). It gets the most bang for your buck. It not only targets those fat stores but also enables your cardio to be done at a much shorter time frame. Usually 20-30 minutes 3-5 times a week is enough to achieve the goal of fat loss. .
.
.
One last word to the wise though. . . Be sure you ARE weight training in addition to your fasted cardio if muscle growth or toning is also apart of your goals. One downfall to fasted cardio can be lean muscle loss. So in order to combat this, you gotta hit the weights!!!! 💪🏼
